I was raised in Roanoke Va and I went to William Fleming back in 2002 I can remember traveling with my wrestling team to wrestle cave spring and seeing him practice his shot in the gym and it was awesome watching him play even tho I went to a different school. I’m glad one of our own made it and I’m also glad I got to live in that area during that time
And you lost, because Cave Spring was the shit. They killed us in baseball every year. It was like their whole team threw 80mph plus at a young age, and they all were good at batting and fielding too. We never saw that kind of speed much in Alleghany County. I threw fast, but I never hit off myself, so that didn't help me when facing teams like theirs.
Ask Me it's all good tho he went on and became better and now plays for my favorite team, although my favorite college basketball team is Duke also lol so I got the best of both worlds
I loved JJ, but I will always be grateful to see my all-time favorite Duke player win a title!!! Shane Battier, I was just a few months shy of my 15th BD when they beat Arizona.
Man I always wish I had siblings like this. My brother was a horrible person, bullied me, shouted at me, selfish, talks shit to me. Videos like this inspires but makes me sad and upset at the same time.

Wow what an amazing story! Truly inspirational family. This really shows the importance of a good family and especially good parents. I hope this can be a motivator for everyone out there.
Love JJ. I went to Duke '96-'98. Tough years but when Cappell hit the half court shot to go overtime with Carolina. I am Dukie for life. JJ is my favorite player. I have two sons playing in College now at the United States Merchant Marine Academy. Oldest will start Navy SEAL school next summer. I would love to come watch him play in LA and then meet him when I am visiting my son. Second son is a shooter like JJ! He broke the school record for most 3's in a season (111) and most in a game (12). He works hard just like JJ. JJ is his favorite player. He reports to the USMMA this summer as a Plebe. Good stuff! Go Duke!

JJ Redick was the best shooter I ever saw, when he beat Hayfield my high school in the 2002 Virginia state semifinals. JJ scored 34 points in that game and then scored 43 in the final to win the Virginia state title. Finally in Mcdonalds All American game he won MVP.
I remember playing some AAU games at Cave Spring right after JJ graduated and how exhilarating it was playing on the same court that he had played on. Ronde and Tiki Barber also went to Cave Spring High School.
Juan Reyes Jr Yea, he’s better than ever or @ least was when you left this comment. He’s kind of going to waste in NoLa it seems like, other than his being a great leader for the youngsters but as of on the court his game should be on an contending teams. I’d love to see JJ on the BUcKS but the trade deadline has come & gone for this 19/20 season.
what a great man and family. God has blessed this man and his family. What a humble bunch of people.. I love how he openly admits his mistakes and selfishness.. What a great man. Good for him and his family. This is what real life miracles looks like!! #godschild

All this comments about him bringing up Jesus Christ is sad that they said they stopped watching. This story is one of those families that acknowledged that it has been God who ought to have all the glory for their success. Jealousy and hatred will never destroy that
JJ is the best, I'm so happy he ended up on my 76ers, couldn't ask for a better player, great shooter from anywhere very efficient and can score at a frantic pace, I hope he stays until he retires, I can definitely see them Winning it all this season 💪🏀👍🏆
God loves you all! John 3:16 King James Version (KJV) 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
I always thought he was cocky when he was with Duke (well, he was a bit cocky), but he was still one heck of a player, and still playing in the league and having a great career. What I love is he has a great support system in his family, and lives by family values. Glad to see he rededicated his life to Jesus.
Coach K the goat and JJ the best college basketball player I ever watched personally. But it's the actual relationship between the two that is the best of all. Pretty cool stuff
The guy has got some balls I'll tell ya that much. People thought he'd be a bust and he struggled on the NBA floor for awhile. He focused on what would make him good and he's one of the best role players and shooters in the league now. Good and productive long career that made him some good money and respect.
Focus, determination, great parents, good decisions & lucky that his body held up to the rigors of being a high level athlete. Excellent story and with all of the success he's had, he seems humble and appreciative. Good luck to JJ, except for when he plays the Celts.
Man I always wish I had siblings like this. My brother was a horrible person, bullied me, shouted at me, selfish, talks shit to me. Videos like this inspires but makes me sad and upset at the same time.
I was upset that the Lakers didn’t go after this guy after they signed LBJ. He’s a much better player and shooter than KCP and they could’ve signed him for the same, 1 year 12 million. The guy is a winner.
Hated Shane Battier and Jay Williams just as much. But since college probably respect him the most out of all the Duke players. But we all can agree Grayson Allen is the worst.
@@MrShaneVicious definitely not average, he's become even better in Philadelphia, I can always depend on him leading them to wins and they have become a PLAYOFF team again because of him and our great team
Reggae Fan 🖕off hater if you had a chance to have him on your team you damn well know you would want him, your just mad that philly is gonna smoke Boston this year and don't give me the oh we beat you the first game this season, it's gonna be a long season and we will beat Boston in the playoffs
J.J. should be on an contender. He would be great on The BUcKS. Maybe 20/21. He’s a great leader for the young NoLa team he’s on now though, his on court game should be on a team like Milwaukee where Giannis can kick it out to him for those beautiful 3’s.
been a duke fan since elt0n brand..... I remember jj in college, everyonr thought he be a bust in the league, that turned out to be adam Morrison from Gonzaga....... I have a kid on my 8th grade team with jj form in shooting, #23 on my bball team #5 on fball team.. check out the championship vids... I swear its not click bait
JJ looked like a bust until he moved around the league and changed his game and got better. Now, he's one of the best shooters and screen runners in the league
I've met JJ a couple times over the years (he's a close friend of a friend) and he's always come across as the solid, well-adjusted guy that he comes across in this video. He probably was a POS at some point while at Duke, but that made him a better human being now.
I sure would like to grow up there. I would like to grow up in that family. I also had an older sister that I followed around til I. Made a pain about myself
Ill never forget as a kid in the 2000s how jj reddick made me hate duke so badly it got to the point where i wished he would get injured so unc could barrel through lmao.. he was that good. It was almost like every shot he took was going in
J.J Reddick was the men Orlando magic draft he was unstoppable Force wreaking with should keep him Duke basketball Grant hill all superstar want that school very expensive maybe magic bring him back when the game on the line
I thought JJ was going to be one of the greatest shooters to ever play, he was the closest I've EVER saw in my life to Pistol Pete. Say what you want about him, but damn that white boy can play.... But, more importantly, I LOVE HOW TIGHT THEIR FAMILY IS. That's what family is supposed to be like. I NEVER had that, but I wish I did. I lost both sisters by 8 and my brother when he was 6, all to cancer. My parents were drunks after that and didn't even know I was around, and yet I still received a scholarship to UNC for football, becoming starting qb. We all can make it and DREAM BIG! Think about this, his record is still NOT even close to Pistol Pete ALL-TIME scoring record in college, and he didn't have a 3 point line. Plus, he ONLY played for 3 years because when I went to college Freshman were not allowed to play, same went for Kareem. God bless you JJ, you have CLASS!!!!
Finally an NBA Journey that doesn't start with. 1. I didn't have a dad in my life 2. I seen people get shot and killed 3. I seen people sell drugs 4. I had no choice it was either basketball or the streets. All though I do understand some kids have a tougher life than others. The street,gang,drugs and murder story gets old after a while. This story of JJ is refreshing to watch. Someone with good parents and a great upbringing and worked hard to get where he is now. It should be this way for every kid growing up unfortunately that's not the case and we end up with sad stories of drugs, drive by's,guns,gangs and prostitution etc. No child should have to endure that. This is why I say its refreshing to watch a story like JJ's. I'm wishing all the kids didn't have to have that top 4 i posted. Instead have this top 4 1. I had a great family upbringing 2. I never ever had to see people die 3. Never seen people sell drugs 4. And lastly be the best student I can be and hit the books hard to be able to do whatever my mind and heart desires in life.
@@samblackshear6656 sorry sam I did get carried away but the truth of the matter is that story gets old. I 100% believe no child should have to go through those types of things but i also believe you are what you make of the situation speaking of its either basketball or the streets cmon!! That's bullshit it should be hit the books as hard as I can or find a job don't give me lazy excuses end of conversation.

During the beginning of his NBA career they didn't give him much playing time. I'm glad he is a high commodity now for a franchise. Jesus bless him!
They let him walk lol

Exactly! Hated the magic for that
One of my favorite Duke players of all time
What a great video! I love seeing happy close knit families.
That's the best part about this. What a cool family, mine were more the type to tear each others heads off 🤦♂️
I will never pre judge anyone ever again this is to all the JJ Redick out there

Amazing documentary on my favorite basketball player of all time. Thank you!!!
As a UK fan I despise Duke, but have tremendous respect for their program, and JJ Redick is my favorite non UK player. Love the way he played.
UK has players? Why do UK fans hate Duke ? I'm confused
@@20FreeWill because we've battled for college basketball supremacy for decades. It's sports hate, not real hate.

I never thought he’d still be playing and at a really good level. Good for him for working on his craft. Cool story
Juan Reyes Jr
Yea, he’s better than ever or @ least was when you left this comment.
He’s kind of going to waste in NoLa it seems like, other than his being a great leader for the youngsters but as of on the court his game should be on an contending teams.

From a Tarheel fan: hated J.J but respected the heck out of him hell of a player
Beautiful, just BEAUTIFUL...GOD BLESS the Entire Reddick Family.

great show.. gotta watch it.. im now a huge jj fan
That's a GREAT story.Awesome!
JJ was and still is an inspiration
Hated him at duke, learned more about him in nba. Will support n hang with dude anytime.
He's the reason my son Nick has a sweet jumper. JJ is just an inspiration for young players on and off the court. Thanks JJ
My Favorite College Basketball Player Of All Times
Breath taking. I tiered up!!
When You Put God In Your Life, Anything Is Possible
Bahahahahahahahaha
Journey man still getting paid!
This family is so adorable. No wonder he grew up to be obsessed with his wife and sons.
All this comments about him bringing up Jesus Christ is sad that they said they stopped watching. This story is one of those families that acknowledged that it has been God who ought to have all the glory for their success. Jealousy and hatred will never destroy that
So what you are saying is God didnt prevent 9/11 cause he was busy making sure people of faith win a dumb basketball game.
JJ is the best, I'm so happy he ended up on my 76ers, couldn't ask for a better player, great shooter from anywhere very efficient and can score at a frantic pace, I hope he stays until he retires, I can definitely see them Winning it all this season 💪🏀👍🏆

Who is here in 2024 after he got the lakers coach job?
Me specifically I’m a big fan of him I grew up in the 90s and 00s so it was hard not to know who JJ was
My uncle played with JJ redick at cave spring my uncle was an all state
Why was there no mention of him becoming the All time leading NCAA 3 point leader and career ACC Scoring leaders.....still a fantastic piece.

But KCP is black
